Another quiet day at home. I did a few housekeeping things today. Kathy vacuumed the floors and then I hand scrubbed them. The dogs tracked in big time yesterday and it was hard to tell what color the floors were.
I got the laundry I did Friday folded and put away. I am running a bit behind. It felt good to get caught up today. I did a bit of picking up and straightening things up around here.
It almost reached 60 today. Lots of snow melted. All this is left is the big piles where people shoveled. It is to be even warmer this week. It is to get close to 70 later this week. A taste of spring in the winter. Good news is it is the end of February so if winter comes back it won’t last long. I feel a case of spring fever coming on.
Got the news a friend had a heart attack and died today. Then his father heard the news and died. My heart has been with that family all day since I heard. Both men will be missed as they were strong pillars in the community.
I get another quiet day at home tomorrow. Don’t have any specific plans. I need to make a few phone calls if I can summon up the energy to do so. Some days I can and some days I can’t.
I’m grateful my schedule has finally slowed down. I only have taxes on my schedule for the next couple of weeks. Hoping I can find a new rhythm to my life which will include some physical movement.
Life feels a bit like it is on pause for a bit. I need a quiet valley for a bit. It feels like I have been on a roller coaster for the last couple of months and I need things to slow way down. Whenever I have a big inner learnings about myself I need time to integrate the learnings and figure out who I am now. This will give me some time to do that.
Grateful for the warmer temperatures, grateful for life’s peaceful valley, and grateful for a cleaner house tonight.
